A CHRISTMAS  CAROL 

So  now  is  come  our  joyful  feast, 

Let  every  man  be  jolly; 

Each  room  with  ivy  leaves  is  drest, 

And  every  post  with  holly . 

❖ ❖ & ❖ 

Then  wherefore  in  these  merry  days 
Should  we,  I pray,  be  duller? 

No,  let  us  sing  some  roundelays 
To  make  our  mirth  the  fuller. 

And  whilst  we  thus  inspired  sing, 
Let  all  the  streets  with  echoes  ring; 
Woods,  and  hills,  and  everything 
Bear  witness  we  are  merry. 

George  Wither

HOLIDAY  BOOKS  FOR  BOYS  AND 
GIRLS 


HIS  list  has  been  prepared  to  meet  the 


many  requests  for  suggestions  of 
children’s  books  as  holiday  gifts. 

The  selection  includes  old  favorites  in  new 
editions  and  such  new  titles  as  seem  worthy 
of  a special  place  in  a child’s  own  library. 
The  make-up  of  the  book  has  been  very 
carefully  considered  in  determining  the 
selection,  and  preference  has  been  given  to 
editions  with  the  best  illustrations,  the  clear- 
est type,  and  the  most  attractive  book 
covers. 

As  the  list  of  “Vacation  reading  for  boys 
and  girls”  includes  camping  and  woodcraft, 
out-door  and  indoor  games  and  sports,  gar- 
dening, animal  stories,  handicraft,  etc.,  these 
subjects  are  omitted  from  the  holiday  list. 

Copies  of  the  vacation  reading  list  may 
be  had  on  request  and  the  appropriate  books 
listed  therein  will  be  included  in  the  exhibit 
of  children’s  books  to  be  shown  in  the  cen- 
tral children’s  room  during  the  month  of 
December. 

Any  large  book  shop  should  have  all  the 
books  except  those  marked  *.  As  these  are 
foreign  books  the  name  of  a New  York 
importing  house  is  given  instead  of  the 
publisher.
